I'm putting in MB750's for beaver and its been some time since I've trapped beaver.

Can anyone tell me how far below the water level the trap/pan should be and how far out from bank? I'm looking at going with a pocket type baited set dug into side of bank. I've searched the archives and simply can't see it anywhere.

For a quick set , I put a poplar stick (peeled alittle) at the banks edge and a mb 750 about 4" away from the poplar and 4" under water. They will always fumble around and step on it,just make sure you have a cement block or a couple of old truck brake rotors in 4 feet of water for the drowning set. They cant refuse a piece of candy ( poplar ) right now because they are getting ready for freeze-up !!! Dont use ant luer at this set. Hope this helps

Take the castors out in one piece. They can be dried and ground or tinctured to get a liquid castor solution. The meat should be used separately, preferably mixed with some bait solution. The owner of this site sells a great bait solution to mix with your chunks of beaver meat. The castor can be ground, then add some glycerin to it to make a good lure for K-9's, cats, beaver.....well almost anything with fur will be attracted to castor..
